A further object of the invention is the provision of a stool of this character, which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and effective in its purpose, light in weight yet strong,

durable and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the stool comprises a body frame A, the same being made from strap metal to provide a chassis 5 to which is fastened the front and rear half loop-like spring seat supports 6 and 1, respectively, carrying a seat 8. The seat is fastened to the upper terminals of said supports by fasteners 9 so that it is in a plane elevated with respect to the chassis 5. Rigidly 5 secured to opposite sides of the chassis 5 close to the front thereof are axle hangers l0 carrying front axles II for front wheels I2. Secured medially of the chassis 5 and extended longitudinally beneath the same is a center brace l3, it having 10 a cleat l5 riveted and bolted thereto at l5 and [6, respectively, the outermost bolt iii of the pair being fitted with a spacer sleeve I! which is located between the brace l3 and the cleat l4 while the other bolt I6 is fitted between overlapped ends 15 I8 of the frame A, these overlapped ends being suitably riveted together in this relation.
